If the graph of position vs. time is curved upward to the right, then speed (velocity) is increasing.
Refer to the related link for more information.
As the speed increases, the graph will show larger spikes and faster fluctuations. Slower speeds will result in smaller spikes and slower fluctuations. The relationship between speed and the shape of the graph depends on the specific context of the data being graphed.
A straight line on a distance/time graph means that the speed is constant. In every unit of time the distance increases by the same amount.
The displacement-time graph for a body moving in a straight line with uniformly increasing speed would be a straight line with a positive slope. As time increases, the displacement of the body also increases at a constant rate.
-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.
If the graph of the object's motion shows a slope that is changing over time, then the object is changing its speed. A steeper slope indicates a faster speed, while a flatter slope suggests a slower speed. Additionally, a curve in the graph may indicate acceleration or deceleration, which also implies a change in speed.
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
The point on the graph will be higher (in the normal configuration of such graphs).
As the speed increases, the graph will show larger spikes and faster fluctuations. Slower speeds will result in smaller spikes and slower fluctuations. The relationship between speed and the shape of the graph depends on the specific context of the data being graphed.
A straight line on a distance/time graph means that the speed is constant. In every unit of time the distance increases by the same amount.
The slope of the line on a graph of position vs. time is a representation of the speed. When the speed increases, its representation on the graph increases, otherwise it wouldn't be called a "representation". The appearance of a person's hair-do in a photograph is a representation of the length of his hair. If his hair gets longer, then it appears longer in the snapshot. But you wouldn't ask (I hope) ... "Why does his hair get longer when it looks longer in the picture?"
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.
The displacement-time graph for a body moving in a straight line with uniformly increasing speed would be a straight line with a positive slope. As time increases, the displacement of the body also increases at a constant rate.
No. The vertical coordinate tells the speed in this case. The slow is the derivate of the speed, i.e., the acceleration.
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
The object is accelerating
How the speed of something changes over time.
The slope of a wavelength vs period graph represents the speed of the wave. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a gentler slope indicates a slower speed.
